Last week I spent some time at my local quilt shop, learning how to use my new sewing machine for free motion quilting. Tiny hung out while I got some one on one instruction. I need to practice and Rhonda (the shop owner) suggested that following a the fabric is a good place to start. I had seen these panels on my first visit and I think they will be a great place to start practicing my free motion quilting.

“25 years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the things you did do. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade wind in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” - Mark Twain

"...to be a parent is to live in the past-present-future all at once. It is to hug your children and be intensely aware of how much smaller they felt last year...even as you wonder how much bigger they will feel the next. It is to be a time-shifter, to marvel at the budding of their intellect, their verbal dexterity, their sense of humor...at the same time rewinding and fast-forwarding...to when they were younger, to when they'll be older. It is to experience longing for the here and now..." -Youngme Moon - Different
